Dxvk: Mafia III - GPU hang during loading

[Ahmed-E-86]

When I try to open Mafia III, it hangs during loading and I have to close the terminal to gain control over my system otherwise I will need to restart my computer. The game runs with Wined3d but everything is so dark and I can't see anything.

PS: I run the game in window mode not full-screen mode because it is a known reason for this game to not start with DXVK.

Why don't you report GPU hangs to mesa directly? Also, didn't the game work for you just a few days ago?

You have a very good memory. I upgraded the kernel from V. 4.14 to 4.19 and that fixed transform feedback issues with The Witcher III but that broke Mafia III.

I reported it here because of this open discussion >>> https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/252

I already have opened bugs at Mesa, and Wine, but they are moving slowly.

I really regret having a laptop with an AMD card. It was a big mistake. This is the last Linux driver for my AMD card from their official website (look at the date), and it didn't even work at that time!

Hey, just received a SI card (AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series), I should be able to fix most of the issues soon.
